Anthony Richardson

No. 5 · 4th season

Richardson fighting to stay on the field, not just the roster.

Anthony Richardson is preparing for his fourth season with the Indianapolis Colts, but the math has gotten harder. Two quarterbacks now stand ahead of him on the depth chart—Daniel Jones and Riley Leonard—and a preseason opener that should have been a moment to prove his readiness instead became a test he half-passed and half-failed.

Richardson completed 11 of 14 passes in the first half, a clean-looking stat line. But he also turned the ball over twice, the kind of careless play that costs you snaps in a league where urgency is measured in roster spots. When a team drafts you early and your future becomes "up in the air" by year four, a half-good performance is just prolonging the conversation.

The harder thing is this: Richardson has to prove he belongs not just to the team, but to himself. A third-string spot is not a place people come back from; it is a place they disappear from. His next preseason game is not just another snap count. It is the line.
